In September DRC as a partner of UNICEF opened a Child – Friendly Space in Presevo in the One-Stop Refugee Centre and a Child – Friendly Space in hotel Bristol in Belgrade. Bearing in mind that children and their mothers are among the most vulnerable refugees and in need of special attention, the Child Friendly Space offers them relevant information on their rights and on protection issues, as well as advisory support about child health, nutrition, and hygiene and safety measures. The children are engaged in educational and recreational activities coordinated by Child Facilitators, while mothers are provided with psycho-social support and counselling by the Child Protection Officers and the representatives from the Ceters for Social Welfare.
